Lakeshore man collects $700K prize on a $50 ticket

A Belle River man won big playing one of Ontario Lottery and Gaming's (OLG) more expensive scratch-off games.

Michael Marshall put up $50 for the Instant Supreme 7 ticket package and scratched off the top prize of $700,000. Marshall picked up his prize this week at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto.

Marshall bought the ticket package at a Petro-Canada station on Tecumseh Road in Windsor.

The OLG sells the Instant Supreme 7 game in a package of seven tickets, each a different colour. Players may win up to three times within a pack of seven tickets, with no more than one win per ticket. Multiple wins include the $50, $77 and $500 prize categories only.

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 3.58.
